    Lovely scene, lovely composition Rob.
    I like the way you have mirrored the cloud to the FG lead in of the little channel of water. Well put together.
    Central'ish horizon doesn't bother me here at all.
    Only thing that would have topped it off, is for the red boat be anchored about 5m to the right so that it wasn't partly obscured by the rocks.....but it wasn't :-)

    Agree entirely with the esteemed Mr StuBill. A very pleasant, well-composed image that ticks all the boxes. Very well done.

    I too really like this image.

    It is a shame the red boat isn't more to the right where the foreground rocks dip slightly - then it would be closer to the left hand third.

    Thanks for sharing!

    A lovely scene. The horizon is a little central but then there's a nice even balance of land, water, mountain and sky detail.

    The greens could be boosted a little and the rocks do appear a touch soft but still a lovely scene.
